I remember when we played games that were 8 bit blocky pixels. You should of seen the art on the boxes for these games, it looked nothing like the game itself. I'm still traumatized to this day from it all.

I like cinematic trailers.
They are many times epic and keep people in jobs.
Promoting a product other than with actual footage is done by almost every product manufacturer in the world in all mediums (television, internet, print) and makes the advertisement more interesting.
It's not their fault if some people believe what they see is somehow real.

Problem is companies like Sony. Anyone remember Kill Zone 2? They were passing that CGI BS off as gameplay.

Few ears ago I would've voted no, but now it's yes. Many games have unskippable scenes. It's really lame when you die and start from the last checkpoint and you're forced to watch all that crap over and over and over again.

In that case, I think it's silly to complain, since the only real way to tell what a game is going to be like as far as previews, is watching gameplay footage demos. If you're watching a lot of cinematic trailers out of anxiety, your bad.

Uhh ok, uh mad bro? I grew up with cinematic trailers with games way back into the early 90's of PC gaming, its part of the fun factor to see awesome cinematics getting you excited and pulling you into the game, thats the idea.
